Bing has a really impressive and large collection of beautiful wallpapers, a new wallpaper is featured in the Bing homepage everyday. If you have a knack of collecting high resolution wallpapers for your desktop and have always wondered whether it is possible to save Bing wallpapers in your computer, here are two easy tricks that will get you started.

Although Bing wallpapers looks great in the Bing homepage, there is no easy way to save Bing wallpapers as an image file and set the image as desktop background in Windows or Mac-OSX. Then there are freeware applications like Bing Desktop, which will automatically download Bing wallpapers on your computer and set them as desktop background. But none of these applications solve the purpose – the ability to download Bing wallpapers in one right click, directly from the Bing home page and save it as an image file.

When you right click the wallpaper or image on Bing homepage, you get an option to save the entire webpage and not just the background image.
